What is this MADNESS?

Welcome to The useless Contest,
a contest you'll easily get to know as one of the strangest contests as of yet. "Why is that?" you may ask, well, as the name already suggests, your goal in this contest will be to bring your most useless League of Legends related idea to life! Yup, you heard that correctly, we'll ask you to invent something so useless, something even a bush wouldn't have thought about and we'll even reward you for it. If your invention is useless enough, that is.

"How will I do this?" you might ask yourself, well, we'll get to that in a bit but just to help that out of the world: you DO NOT have to be a technical genius to take part in this contest. So, you like where this is going? Then don't hesitate and grab a cup of your favorite drink while reading through the rest of this post.

Guidelines

In this contest it's your goal to invent & create the most useless League of Legends related invention ever. You can do this by either physically building or programming it. We'll put some examples in the comments to help you get an idea of what we expect.

How you do this, is completely your call. You can use any kind of materials or programming language, as well as you can choose your own style, scale and pretty much anything else. So were you thinking of dusting of your old Lego collection and start building with those? Go ahead; use anything you have or find! The only things you'll need is your creativity and to some extent building or programming skills

Entries will be evaluated on three key aspects:

Uselessness

Creativity

Quality

Creativity and uselessness play the biggest role by far here, while quality is more of a bonus element. Surprise us!

Can anyone join?

Yes! As mentioned before this contest is made for anyone. So if you aren't an engineer, don't worry, you don't need to be one! The only requirement is that you have an idea and some hands to bring it to life.
